I love the name Allegra. The medication name may be enough to stop me from using it on my own daughter, but I'm finding I'm much more prone to worry about these things when naming my own child. If I met your Allegra? I would love it. It really irritates me that pharma companies are using gorgeous names for medications. I think it's gorgeous. Maybe Claritin will put Allegra out of business by the time little Allegra starts kindergarten.

The fact it's an an allergy medication doesn't deter me as much as it used to. I guess I'd rather use a name that happens to be used for allergies than, say, birth control. (there are tons of birth control pills with actual girl's names) If it's a name you love and keep coming back to, I say go for it.
